There is far too much over development in this area, to the cost of the wildlife - remember them? - and the people living in and around the area. There are many brownfield sites that should be used before another hectare of green is taken away. Once gone it can't be replaced and is essential, probably more now than ever, for man's survival.

I think there is already enough greenfield
development around Taunton there is sufficient brownfield and unused property to use.

It's a horrendous plan to ruin the outstanding beauty of the Blackdown Hills. How can there possibly be a need for such an enormous town across the M5 from Taunton

Objection to the proposed Taunton Garden Village. The land is arable and should remain that way. Priorities should be to build on brownfield land within Taunton town boundaries. The council is trying to avoid bankruptcy and is struggling to maintain the present infrastructure now and this proposal will only exacerbate these challenges.

Because the infrastructure of Taunton, hospital, schools, doctors surgeries, roads, public transport, etc, cannot cope. Developers promise the earth but do not deliver. Once again our natural landscape is being threatened. When it's gone, it's lost forever and the quality of life is compromised. Please do not let this happen.

If your not willing to try and put an end to the relentless destruction of prime green belt countryside by greedy developers then don’t complain when it inevitably happens!

It’s important to preserve our rural countryside and above all there is insufficient infrastructure to cope with all these additional homes. Find another location that’s more suitable.

Have lived here all my life . It would be a loss of important agricultural land . With increasing changing weather patterns we need to keep agricultural land for food production. Water will also be an issue with so many houses putting extra strain on already creaking supplies . The visual and ecological impact would also be very destructive.

This a very beautiful piece of countryside and is a key area for diverse agriculture and nature alike. It is not right to develop this area of the black down vale.

This is unsustainable as a development we need this prime agricultural land for food production and biodiversity. Developments like this do not contribute to people's health and wellbeing they create ghettos of residential concrete and tarmac. With insufficient greenspaces & supporting services they are a disaster for humans and nature. A few trees planted do not offer a substitute for this loss
